Your problem is not helped by FrontPage producing some dodgy HTML - try
using something like HTML tidy from the W3 site which validates and tidies
up HTML. Anyway back to your problem - Netscape is very touchy about
using the document object to refer to forms etc. So try using
value=document.form1.text1.value and so on. In general the way to do
validation is to use the onBlur or onChange events. Here's an example
which works in NS and IE:
<html>
<head>
<title>Focus validation</title>
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function window_onLoad()
{
document.form1.text1.focus();
}
function check1 (textObj)
{
var value;
value = textObj.value;
if (value != "First" )
{
alert("Something wrong, try again!");
textObj.focus();
textObj.select();
return false;
}
return true;
}
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#eeeeee" onLoad="window_onLoad();">
<form name="form1" id="form1" onsubmit="return check1
(document.form1.text1);">
<p>Please enter "First" in first textbox</p>
<input id="text1" name="text1" onBlur="check1(this);"><br>
<input name="text2" id="text2" >
</form>
</body>
</html>
